Good Evening all
I have recently replaced the CF card in my Openbrick 520E. The new compact flash card is a blank. I have tried several methods to create a bootable bearing partition on it but have had no luck. I can access it thorough a Sandisk card reader and can even transfer files back and forth under Red Hat. However, I'm at a loss as to how to get the Brick to boot from the CF card. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Specs: Openbrick 520E, http://www.storever.com 256 RAM, no hard drive, and an exact duplicate replacement 265 MB A-1 Compact Flash Card that came with the unit.
Thanks ahead of time.

You can do this under linux or dos. I usually boot a DOS boot disk (not a Windows boot disk). fdisk format c: put the syslinux.com program on the dos diskette. syslinux -s c: under linux that would be syslinux -s /dev/hda1
next boot the Bering bootable diskette. Delete programs you will not use so you will have room for the making a bigger initrd.lrp
download and copy the modules in these instructions

backup initrd
reboot the bering diskette mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt cp the lrp files from the diskette to the compact flash
take out the floppy and reboot onto the compact flash.
Once I make one - I boot a Maxblast diskette to copy the whole partition into another compact flash on the other ide. That way I have a second copy of my cf for upgrading with minimum down time.
